Come . . . to Isshin-ryū Talk!

[edit]

Please!

Sorry, you are there! I will continue on that TALK page!

MOAR Isshin-Ryū

[edit]

I will add this in Talk as well.

It seems that if anyone reviewed the article they did not change it. From my standpoint, it seems to be as it stands a good blend where the readers can check the references--and rebuttals to such--and make an informed decision. TheDoctorX (talk) 06:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even MOAR Isshin-Ryū

[edit]

Kindly take a look at the History to see what an anonymous editor did to the article:

I Don't Wike Bishop!

[edit]

Oddly enough he removed a section that cites Bishop claiming it is "false" without explanation. I reverted it all back to where we were and advised him to provide evidence in Talk.

A.J. Advincula

[edit]

He claimed that Advincula designed the symbol then patch. This may be true. I do not know. I forgot to ask him! I asked the anonymous editor on his sort of "Talk" page to simply provide a reference. If you have a reference to support/rebut that, please provide it.

Rank Issues

[edit]

He also contributed a long but ungrammatical, unlinked, and unsourced paragraph on ranking. It may be valid, but it has no reference. MOST Okinawan systems follow a similar 10-dan pattern. I was aware of a few Isshin-Ryū who followed the Japanese Jūdō system of checkered red-white then red for the 6+ dan ranking.

Whatever.

I asked on his Talk to simply provide a reference for it. If you have one, it might be a good section to add. Here is what he wrote:

Rank requirements for KYU RANKS vary from dojo to dojo.There are ten Dan Ranks in Isshin-Ryu. Dan Ranks were set up by Tatsuo Shimabuku in this order: Sho-Dan varies because of dojo's kyu rank requirements, Ni-Dan requires at least two years after the Sho-Dan promotion, San-Dan requires at least three years after the Ni-Dan promotion, Yon-Dan requires at least ten years as a black belt of five years from the San-Dan promotion and a minimum age of twenty-eight. Go-Dan requires at least five years after the Yon-Dan promotion and is a Renshi rank. Roku-Dan requires at least another five years after the Go-Dan promotion and has a minimum age of thirty-eight and is a renshi/Shihan rank "Master", Shichi-Dan requires at least ten years from the Roku-Dan promotion and is a Kyoshi Rank, Hachi-Dan requires at least another ten years from the Shichi-Dan promotion and is a Kyoshi Rank, Ku-Dan requires a minimum of ten years from the Hachi-Dan rank and is a Hanshi Rank "Grandmaster", Ju-Dan is the highest rank achieveable in karate and requires a minimum of ten years from the Ku-Dan rank it is a Hashi Rank "Grandmaster". This means that there should be no one with a Hanshi Rank under sixty-eight years of age.

It needs grammar clean up and links, blah . . . blah . . . but I am happy to do that so long as it is legitimate.

Best! TheDoctorX (talk) 07:34, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wasted quite enough of my time on this already, thank you. Billyinthedarbies (talk) 02:24, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
